The NSW Government has introduced tough new laws to fight graffiti vandalism. The Graffiti Control Act 2008 (the Act) received Royal Assent on 3 December 2008 and commenced in February 2009. The key reforms include:
- It is an offence to possess implements such as marker pens or etching implements with the intention of using them to damage or deface premises.
- New powers to issue on-the-spot fines to retailers who fail to properly secure their spray paint can displays, or where spray paint cans are sold to persons under 18 years of age.
- Consolidation of existing graffiti legislation into a specific Act that deals solely with graffiti vandalism.
- The Act also replicated the scheme set out under sections 67A-67C of the Local Government Act 1993 for the carrying out of graffiti removal work by local councils. It enables penalty notices to be issued for the offence of selling spray paint cans to minors and for the offence relating to the unsecured display by retailers of spray paint cans.
